Replying to Legit colleges near mountains

hey i just got my 2 year college degree in buff new york. im tryin to move out west but am kinda stumped on where i should go next. i hate winters here but we have some nice hand rails in the city for sure. though every year we get less and less snow, along with a ski resort hill shutting down for good everyyear it seems cuz of lack of snow. so i have a few colleges in mind but i would really like to hear some input from you guys it will really help me out. im trying to get into physical therapy-pre med so i know theres alot of schools all over the place that has such degrees cuz its so common.. i just want to go somewhere where i dont have to drive 4 hours to ski cuz ide never go with school work and all and planning that far of a drive.
